Balance – Matching Food & Wine. What Works and Why

Winner of The Best Food & Wine Writing at the Australian Food Media Awards 2006

The old wine rule of ‘white wine with white meat and red wine with red meat’ no longer applies! But with increasing numbers of varietal wines, it can be difficult to choose the perfect wine to complement your meal.

Balance: Matching Food and wine demystifies the challenge of matching food and wine for Australian tastes.

Features of the book include:

• Explanations of the key characteristics of Australia’s most popular varietals.
• Delicious sample recipes for you to try, such as Chicken Fillet with North African Flavours, prawn and pork Glass Noodle Salad, Soft Polenta with Mascarpone and Blue Cheese, Spiced Pork Belly, Berry Terrine and Apple and Rhubarb Tarts.
• Handy lists of the most sensational matches, flexible food wines and the best wine styles for restaurant styles.
• A unique food and wine matching chart detailing which wine goes with which food style.
